Wonderful things you have here Rennir! I'm really amazed *___* I loved your tutorial. I rarely use them but sometimes I just get the feeling I want to read THAT one and yours happened to be that one xD I love it. Thank you very much!

Thanks, I'm glad you think so. Haha, you're not a graphics noob, just a beginner, like the rest of us were at one point or another

Haha, you're too generous! :P
I'll never be more than a beginner, though. I know enough to help me at my job from time to time, 'tis enough.

Funnily enough I have to agree. It's pretty but you can easily see that it wasn't a motive you chose yourself

...*laughs* Y'know what's funny? I found this tut last night working on a sig, I think in the sig/avy tut section, but...I had no idea it was by you! :P I started using it (not to the letter, just bits and pieces), and I was just like wow!
And then I come here and find out it's yours great job!

Haha glad you thought it was helpful then! There's nothing particularly wrong with following tutorials to the letter, I know I used to do it a lot. I've just found that adding my own creativity into tutorials, while making the process harder, is a much more educational and beneficial process for me as a gfx artist I completely understand seeing an awesome tag before and wanting to imitate it exactly though. Some people are just too good at tagging Thank you!

(Sorry I haven't got much else to say...)

I liked yours too! It had a sort of old fashioned, vintage feel to it, and the wooden (?) bg texture was a nice choice. It's blended too well almost Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not actually very talented; there are much more talented people out there!

Even though it's black and white, you played with the lighting really well. I especially love how you blend in the C4Ds, that's a really neat work.

KIU

Thanks ranran-kun trying to think of a nickname here... I made it black and white cause I couldn't blend the colors well, so slap on a BW gradient map and voila! problem solved I fixed the text in the final version btw, cause the text in that one is still lacking. And Topaz definitely helped the look of the C4ds

Perhaps, but I definitely feel like I could've done better with it. In retrospect, I also oversharpened the petals in front of the render too .____. And I think some better background variation would've helped.

Yeah, I rarely use tutorials anymore too. PSDs are ten times more helpful IMO Well I'm glad my tutorial drew your eye? I honestly had no idea how to design a tutorial, typo and texture wise, and I would probably change some style choices if I wasn't too lazy to go back now Oh well, function over form right?

Thanks, but I was just speaking my mind Haha that's perfectly fine though, because I'm sure you're a pro at other types of things that I have no idea how to do

Interesting that you say that. Do I have a type of distinctive motive?

Another crop from SAO. Can't wait for this anime to come out

Wasn't sure if I wanted a border, but the white blends too much with my AS so I chose to go borderless The world needs more bordless signatures anyways :3

Sorry for the crappy updates, but if you all come back in 1-2 weeks I'll probably have something nice to show you

It's more like the details. The way you position the render, do the lighting and effects, it all goes really well with another. Like you had the final product already in your mind before you started.
If that makes any sense ... xD

It's just kind of common sense that creative people are better with stuff they prefer themselves

Rennir, the request is adorable even though it's a bit pink-ish for my tastes. Ugh, pink, but that's not your fault. I actually quite like the texture that you've given to the BG using brushes if I'm not mistaken? It blends well together ^^

Size:: AS-safe, but whatever you think works best for the render provided below.Render:Asuna! The BG was removed by a friend, and I went over the lines that looked.. off. (Manga editing habits). If you think you can or could do a better job, then let me know and I'll give you the original image. I can also provide you with the image that doesn't have my outline if you so wish.Text: Aphrah. (Without the period XD)Border: Ja, if you think it suits the signature. Up to you.Colours/effects: All up to you. I don't like restraining designers.

Now that you mention it... I know what you mean Still, gotta work on doing requests

Yeah borders are actually unprofessional and look bad on a lot of sigs, especially if you're doing abstract or more detailed stuff. For a crop though, it can go either way

Keep it up!

It's pink-ish for my tastes too It's not brushes (looks like we're both wrong ), it's part of a stock I found on the web. Yeah, except for the part that I oversharpened, making the edges look LQ

Btw, there's a lot of other stuff for you to C&C , look back at the last 2-3 pages!

I look forward to seeing your result ~

Feel free to ask me about anything.

I will get to this ASAP Still brainstorming on how I should do this...
